Yes, there are several items that can raise a Pokémon’s Special Attack stat, including Wise Glasses, which provides a flat increase and a percentage-based increase to Special Attack, and Petaya Berry, which raises the holder’s Special Attack by one stage when the holder’s HP drops to ¼ or below. The Choice Specs is another item that boosts the holder’s Special Attack by 50%, but it comes with a penalty, as the Pokémon must choose one move to use exclusively until it switches out.
